It kinda looks like he is!

Why does Nick Foligno have to play for the fucking Sens?

Ok let's not get too far ahead. The only hockey player in the world that would have missed that shot would be Pominville, simply because his stick would break.


That goal will be "credited" to Vanek but Gaustad and the shooter of the original shot did the work.

I was thinking more of his nice backcheck earlier in the game....

shut up already

We've seen Stafford miss that one too. :p

You know why, because somebody with the Sabres thought Dennis Persson was a better hockey player.

Yeah Markus, what you think of that great back check by Vanek earlier? Totally robbed Alfredsson of a sure goal.

Vanek has a knack for knowing exactly where to be.. He's been in perfect position to score goals all year but the puck just hasn't been bouncing his way.. Earlier in this season, the puck would have just bounced over his stick on that play and you guys would have said "screw you TV, your an overpaid bitch.."

Obviously we want to score, but if he doesn't play defense... what's that doing for us?

Obviously this game it's working, I'm just mentioning the fast worship for a dude.

Yeah, I hate when Vanek doesn't backcheck. Oh...wait a second.

One backcheck over an entire season?

Let me give you a hint, forwards are supposed to backcheck and cover their men on EVERY play.

Holy man worship batman. You guys need to get a room.

You're so transparent Markus. I'm not about to say Vanek is a good defensive forward, but to call his positioning in front of the net on a pp "cherry picking"...gimme a break...just stop already.

I just commented on how easy of a goal it was. He didn't do work to score it.

Yes he did score, which is good....BUT..you guys are talking like it was difficult.

A one winged pingeon could have scored it.

we're outshooting them 17-5. that has to be backwards on espn.com.

also outhitting them 15-4 apparently?

I never said it was difficult, nobody did. It was just nice that a scoring chance was finally capitalized on. Vanek has been in position for quite a few chances so far this season, but like everyone else he hasn't scored on enough of them. He of course is piled on about it, so why keep on him for actually putting one in the net...the way he's supposed to?
